China’s Huaxi Urban Center (of the Future)

The first thing that I thought of, when looking at these pictures, was what sheik in Dubai owns this stunning building. But reading further I realized that – surprisingly – it’s going to emerge in China. Dubbed the Huaxi Urban Center, the exterior of the building was ingeniously designed to hide its massive network of support beams, duct work, wiring, and HIVAC systems. It uses flexible cellular based materials, exoskeletal lattices, and carbon fiber composites which are all highly advanced and needed to put up something like that.

I simply love the way they play with lights (red, yellow, light blue and light green) but still, I can’t say that building is gorgeous. That’s because it’s astonishing and mind-blowing. – via YankoDesign
